Various plans have been at different times brought forward for forming a Railway communication along the Kentish shore of the Thames between the metropolis and the city of Rochester, and the great naval and military establishments at Chatham and Sheerness ; but owing to the very hilly character of the country, the deep cuttings and embankments necessary for the formation of a line of practicable gradients, and the enormous expenditure of capital which would con sequently be requisite, they have all been either abandoned or sur vive with but slender hopes of success. The line now submitted to the public is wholly free from every such difficulty. Without a single tunnel, and without any high or extensive embankments, it will run on excellent gradients the whole way, and though taking what may at first seem a circuitous course, it will, in fact, be little longer than a straight line between the two termini. It will com mence on the northern shore of the Medway, opposite to Rochester and Chatham, at a point conveniently accessible to steam-boats, and going round the chalk hills (through which the Thames and Med way Canal Tunnel is cut), proceed along the southern bank of the Thames as far as Milton, next Gravesend, where a short steam ferry (of less than ten minutes' transit) will connect it with West Til bury, on the Essex side of the river, whence it will pass inland by Gray's Thurrock to Ockendon, where it will fall into the Thames Haven Railway, which joins at Rumford the Great Eastern Coun. ties line to London. From thus taking advantage of the Eastern Counties and Thames Railways for about 17 miles of the whole distance, and from the great ease with which the other parts of the line may be executed, the entire expense of completing the London, Rochester and Cha tham Railway through Essex will not amount to one-fifth of the cost of any line that could be executed along the Kentish side of the river. The distance from Rochester and Chatham to the metropo lis by this line will be 32 miles, which will be traversed with ease in an hour and a half ; the distance by the present high-road is 31 miles—the time of travelling never less than three hours. From Gravesend, passengers by this railway may reach London within an hour ; by the steam-boats they cannot reach it with the tide in less than two hours, and with an adverse tide in less than throe hours. From estimates of the probable revenue, which have been very carefully prepared, and are founded entirely on the basis of the ex isting traffic, it appears that there would be an annual return from passengers of 62,4071. 18s. 7d., and from goods of 17,0091. 17s. The surveys are completed, and every other necessary preparation is making for applying to Parliament for an Act of Parliament in the ensuing session.

(From the New London Price Current of Oct. 7.) SUGAR.—There has been a steady demand for West India raw sugar chiefly from the grocers, at fully the rates of this day week ; the public sales, containing 100 hhds. Barbadoes and 133 hhds. 10 pkgs. Nevis, went off briskly at rather better prices, the former at 70s. a 725. 6d., latter 665. a 695. for low mid. and good gray quality ; privately sales of very dark brown sugar have been made at 665., and fine gray at 725. This af ternoon there was rather more business doing in the refined market by the grocers at full prices ; 86s. paid for good lumps, but the shippers still purchase sparingly at 455. for double crushed ; Dutch crushed remain at 435. 6d., but there has been nothing done. MAtiamus.—This afterncon a public sale of 2,466 bags, an inferior parcel, went off readily at prices fully equal to those of the last sale ; low brown and yellow went at 635. to 665., mid. yellow 665. 6d. to 68s. EAST INDIA. —Good white at 395., and ordinary at 355. FOREIGN.—The public sale this afternoon of 334 chests 48 barrels of Bahia, a small portion only of which was disposed of at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. ; good dry white went at 365. to 38s. ; low, 325. 6d. to 335. 6d. ; good gray, 325. ; fine brown, 255. to 275.

SPIRITS.—This afternoon there was a considerable demand for rum, and advanced prices were obtained. Jamaica of favou rite marks, 34 per cent, over, have been sold at ss. ; 32 over, 4s. 9d. ; Demerara 7 over, 2s. 10d. ; for 32 over, 4s. 3d. of fered and refused. There is little Jamaica now offering in the market under 4s. Bd. COFFEE.—The only public sale this afternoon was 290 bags Bahia, which went Is. to Is. 6d. cheaper, and sold at 445. to 445. 6d., good ord. mixed. TALLOW.—SaIes of St. Petersburgh Yellow Candle made at 425. 9d. At auction 430 casks stranded St. Petersburgh Yellow Candle went at 425. 6d. to 435. for first sort, and 40s. 9d. to 41s. 6d. for second quality. For delivery the nearest price is 425. This afternoon several contracts were entered into for delivery to the end of the year at 425. The request on the spot is still moderate; 425. 6d. accepted. INDlGO.—Biddings were languid, and prices ruled from 2d. to 4d. lower than a fair average of the last July sale.

MR. WALLACE'S ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTI. TUENTS. Mr. Wallace, the indefatigable Member of Parliament for Greenock, met his constituents on Monday evening, ac cording to previous arrangement, in the Sheriff's Court Hall, Greenock ; and, as he had done annually since he be came a representative in Parliament, resigned his situation till his conduct should be approved. The Hall was crowded to excess. Provost M‘Fee occupied the chair, supported by Bailies Stuart and Stewart. Mr. WALLACE, on presenting himself to the meeting, was received with enthusiastic cheering. It would he quite superfluous, he said, were he to assure them that he felt great pleasure in meeting with them again. The kindness which he had received from them enabled him to say that no other representative was on better terms with his constituents.—(Great cheering.) He stood before them in a peculiar situation. He had been four years the re presentative of the constituency of Greenock, and this was the fourth time he had resigned his trust into their hands. —(Cheers.) By their kindness he had been three times returned to Parliament, and there had been no immorali ties practised in order to secure his return. He had en couraged no immoralities in canvassing —he had been re turned free of expense, and no person had been driven to those scenes of vice and dissipation which too frequently ac companied elections.—(Renewed cheering.) He had no danger to fear in placing again into their hands the trust which they had reposed in him.—(Continued cheering.) And here was a proof of the unnecessary length of the Par liaments. By the bye, in looking over the chronological events, he had perceived that the Septennial Act was introduced the same year, 1716, that the Northern Lights were first discovered—the one discovery was more harmless than the other, for the seven years Parliament had entailed a certain degree of slavery, which always lasted seven years. He would now enter upon a subject in which he had long taken a deep interest, and in doing this he would express a hope that the cause of which he meant now to speak—that of Law Reform—would ere long be triumphant. He had been induced to notice this from the encouragement which he had met with in the course he had pursued, and which was so necessary to his success, through the memorials and remonstrances which they—his constituents—had forwarded. Three Bills had been introduced into the House of Commons ; the Court of Session Bill, the Sheriff Small Debt Court Bill, and the Burgh Court Bill, but only two of these—the two first named, had been taken up. The first of these had been introduced by himself, so far back as the year 1833 ; and last session it had been again brought forward by the Lord Advocate. It was in every respect well matured, yet it was thrown out by the Lords. With respect to the other Bill of which lie had spoken, being satisfied that the Court House i❑ which they now were, was well fitted for conducting jury trials in civil causes, he had gone to Glas gow last week, and taken notes of the proceedings in order to be able to make the subject still more plain, and lie would now state his conviction that their own Sheriff might dispense justice as well, and at far less cost, in their own Court House, than could be done at Glasgow. He was sure that excellent Judge now at Glasgow, Lord Jeffrey, would fully agree in what he had said.—(Great cheering.) Was it not monstrous that the people of Greenock, of Dumbarton, and of Paisley, should have to go to Glasgow for the settlement of their civil causes? They were likely soon to have a railway to Glasgow, in the forming of which much valuable property must be broken in upon. Houses would have to be driven down, iron foundries would have to be demolished, and entailed estates, the most difficult pro perty of all to interfere with, would have to he encroached upon. Still they were to be sent before a stranger judge in order to arrange all these intricate affairs, although their own Sheriff, assisted by 12 or 15 honest men, was perfectly fitted for all that was to be done. He would declare solemnly that he would as soon trust his whole property to the decision of the Sheriff, with the aid of a jury, as to the whole array now assembled at Glasgow. The Judges were generally supposed to be hostile to trial by jury —at least in county Courts. They now called on the Sheriff to decide in the most difficult causes—provided he did so according-to lie own individual judgment ; but if he were to ask the assistance of 12 or 15 honest men, he was imme diately declared totally incapable. This was so monstrous an absurdity that it ought not to be borne. He would wish it to be kept in mind, however, that in speaking of the Judges of the Court of Session, he spoke of them as a body. As individuals, he entertained for them the highest respect. As an instance of the different aspects in which their Lordships appeared as members of the Court of Ses sion, and as individual Judges, he would remark, that the decisions of the Lords Ordinary gave universal satisfaction, while those of the Outer or Inner Houses were viewed by the public in a very opposite light. The public had no confidence whatever in the Court of Session ; the Judges, when assembled in that Court having no individual respon sibility. Hence it was that so many appeals were taken to the House of Peers ; and out of this again rose one of the difficulties in law reform, as the lawyers found it to be their interest that such appeals should be numerous. With respect to the differences existing between an Edinburgh and a provincial Court, he might express it in the words of a note, which he had at one time taken, and which he had found the other day. It might be composed in the words," wigs, wigs." A respectable, in telligent, and able lawyer had at one time actually proposed to him, that the Sheriffs should wear wigs in their county courts, in order to put them on a level with the judges. He would here express his satisfaction at the assistance which he had obtained from Sir George Clerk and Sir William Rae, in expressing the farce of attendance on the part of the judges in the Court of Session. These two gentlemen had observed with him that the fact of the judges sitting only, on an average, 2k hours a day, for 5 days in the week, or 104 days in the year, was a monstrous abuse which could not be too soon remedied, and he was sure that no reflecting person would hesitate an instant in expressing the same sentiment.—(Loud cheering.) He would now come to a subject which many of them might think somewhat of a hobby of his—he alluded to post-office affairs. It was well known to the present meeting that, during four long ses sions, he had labopred incessantly to reform that once highly lauded establishment. The real Post-Master-General of some fifty years standing, was now no more—and while he would retain the privilege of exposing his official mismanage ment, he would abstain, as he had hitherto done, from say ing anything personal respecting that individual. Various Commissions, composed of high sounding names, had en quired officially into the allegations which he had brought against this establishment—these had beenborne out to a won derful degree, and in many instances, to the very letter. He imputed the whole blame and mismanagement to the Secre tary and assistant Secretary —excusing the Postmasters- General on the score of their entire ignorance of, and unfit ness for the dutieß. The country at large had encouraged him in these assertions with the most praiseworthy fortitude, and he might proudly boast of having been backed by the entire periodical Press, whilst even the most grovelling among them had not upheld the conduct of the Postmas ters General, or other high officials. The Treasury had seen proper to remove Mr. Freelin,g, now Sir Henry Freelin g, from that departme n t, an d in their wisdom it would appear they bad promoted that gentleman from a situation in the Post Office of 8001. a year, to be a Commissioner of the Customs with 1,200/. or 1,4001. The Post Offic e inquiry was still in progress under Lord Duncannon, a C a bi net Minister, Lord Seymour, one of the Lords of the Treasury, and the Right Honourable H. Labouchere, Master of the Mint, and Vice-President of the Board of Trade. Their Reports had made a deep impres sion, and the extracts he had taken from the sixth Report of these very able Commissioners, would be read with no small degree of astonishment by an intelligent public. His (Mr. W: s) speeches during the last four years, and the documents he had repeatedly brought under the notice of Parliament would show that he had alleged, over and over, that the actual loss to the country, by the Post Of fice Packet Establishment, amounted to many hundred thou sand pounds, all of which remained uncontradicted and un disproved. Who the guilty persons were he had been un able to discover—under whose charge the Establishment wa s, the whole evidence and the Reports of the Post Office Commissioners leave no doubt. The Treasury, on the meeting of Parliament, would, of eourse, assign their reasons for appointing Sir Henry Freeling to the Customs, in the face of an existing enquiry and of the reports of the various Commissioners, showing an im mense loss, and gross malversation, while the authors remained as yet undeclared. To him this appointment ap peared but a poor compliment paid to the Post Office Commissioners in return for their valuable labours. But with the Treasury, the Commissioners, and with the public zealously upholding a reform Ministry, he would now kave t he question, having no desire to appear to follow any indi vidual vindictively —it being sufficient for his purpose that the parties to whom h e a tt r ib u t e d th e w h o l e blame, whethe r i right or wrong no longer held office in an Establishment he had sought. and would continue to seek the reformation of. Colonel Maberly was supposed to be an efficient officer—be had been exchanged from an office of 1,2004 or 1,400/, to one, of course, ota salary of 800/. a-year, that being the utmost salary recommended by Lord Wallace's Tory Com mission, and sanctioned by the Duke of Richmond—to take place after the death of Sir Francis Freeling— a ll this, said Mr. Wallace, looked very queer! " New brooms sweep clean," 'twas said, but he was much mistaken if Colonel Maberley, or any other, would be allowed to sweep at all, while his Majesty's Government tolerated a Noble Lord, continuing in the office of Postmaster-General, in defiance of a Bill brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and carried triumphantly through the House of Commons. A most extraordinary spell appeared to surround everything connected with the management of the Post-office at the Treasury ; which all would agree in who looked at the appointments he had just alluded to, coupled with the fact of the Postmaster-General's holding office in spite of the Government, while they had it in their power to remove him from office, and which, in his opinion, they were bound to do, out of respect to the House of Commons and to their own character, on the very day after the Post Office Commissioners' Bill was thrown out of the House of Lords. (Mr. Wal lace then proceeded to read extracts from the Sixth Report of the Post Office Commissioners, dated 30th April, 1836, detailing the abuses which were found to exist in the packet establishments at Holyhead and Liverpool, the Treasury Minute of the 19th January, 1836, upon that Report, and various other documents, which, at the time, were given in The Sun.) The Hon. Member interspersed the reading of these documents with many humourous and cutting re marks which elicited shouts of laughter from those whom he addressed. He then turned to the operation of the clause in the Newspaper Act relative to the penny stamp duty, and showed that the Post Office, in the midst of their other blunders, had left a loop-hole open by which the un just operation of that clause might be evaded. It appears' that a packet, under four ounces weight, can be con veyed through the penny post for a single penny—that is to say, a regular packet closed up at both ends ; and Mr. Wallace showed, that as it required, in many instances, three of these newspapers to weigh four ounces, the penny post might thus, even according to the absurd existing law, be made extremely useful. In short said Mr. Wallace, we may by this means whip the devil round the post most effec tually. He now took up another subject. He had not forgot ten his promise with regard to the Newspaper tax. Last year he exhibited a New York paper. He then said he would have-the tax off in this country, or at least, he would show to Government the propriety of making a reduction in the duty.—(Cheers.) His own early conviction was, that news should be made cheap. He believed that now newspapers were as cheap as they could be made ; they were in fact at all sorts of prices. He would begin with the London papers to show the prices at which they could be had. Mr. Wallace here produced a number of the Lon don papers, of various sizes, at from 3d to He also mentioned a ,number of provincial papers which he consi dered worthy of notice, particularly Cleaves's Police Re porter. As he was naming the name of Cleave, he might take the occasion of saying that they were almost wholly indebted to him for the change on the stamp duty. It was he, send those who went along with him, who had not forced Go vernment to see the necessity of taking off the tax, in order to put a stop to frauds upon the revenue. Mr. Wallace then directed their attention to Scottish Newspapers, and spoke of the Glasgow Chronicle as being particularly worthy of the attention of all who wished cheap reading. He had observed that that paper was now published three times a week at 3d. For himself he preferred a thrice a week paper to one published twice a week, and he therefore gave the proprietors of the Glasgow Chronicle thanks for furnishing hini with one at so cheap a rate. He was thus furnished with early information, and that is what they should look to ; they should read over the news of one paper in as short it time as possible, and then go and buy more news when they could afford it. The large papers gave fun also for the money paid for them.—(Laughter.) Mr. W. here held up, amidst much laughter, a large Lon don paper, set off with a goodly number of wood cuts. He would now show the position in which newspapers stood in respect of the penny post. The Treasury had been applied to on the subject ; but they saw they could do nothing with out an appeal from the country, as the system now in ope ration worked well for London. He must say that there appeared something very extraordinary about the Post-office. The Lords of the Treasury themselves, when they interfered in its affairs, got quite addleheaded. He would now speak of the House of Lords, and show how the people ought to act, to meet the opposition which the measures passed by their representatives were likely to sustain from that House. Even since the end of the session of 1835, he had watched the conduct of the Upper House ; and he had seen them disappoint on almost every occasion that gave them an op portunity, the just wishes and expectations of the vountry. There was a point, however, relative to this subject, on which he differed with many of those whom he was proud to call his friends, and whom he knew to be their friends That point was—where the Reform of the Upper House should originate? Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, and others, thought that it ought to originate with the King's Minis ters. Now, his opinion did not accord with this. What could the King's Ministers do with the subject, so long as the House of Commons was constituted as at present? Of the 652 Members who composed the Lower House, not fewer than 107 were Noblemen, or the sons of Noblemen, or in some way or other intimately connected with the No bility. How could these be expected to join in any plan of reforming the order to which they themselves were at tached? The people must take the matter in hand them selves, and by the constitutional means which carried the Reform of the House of Commons, they would be able to carry Reform in the House of Lords. The people must petition both Houses, and also the King, to exercise his prerogative. Were Lord Melbourne to bring forward a measure for reforming the Lords before he had the people marshalled behind him, his Ministry would not stand a day. Such an attempt would only give an impetus to Toryism. No Minister could do anything till the tables of both Houses, and the footstool of the throne, were filled moun tains high with the petitions, and memorials, and remon strances of the people ; more particularly, addresses should be forwarded to his Majesty, praying him to use his prero gative in adding to the number of Liberal Peers. An Individual in the body of the meeting here inter rupted Mr. Wallace, by a remark whi c h cou ld no t b e dis- tinctly beard, relative to the report which has gone abroad, of the bust of the Duke of Bedford having been removed from its place in Windsor Palace, in consequence of that Nobleman's subscribing to Mr. O'Connell's compensation fund. He spoke for a minute or two amidst some con- and concluded by saying, that he thaiked God, with Cobbett, that we had a House of Lords to support the Con stitution. Mr. WALLACE resumed—lt would, he said, be advan tageous for the people, in considering how a reform of the House of Lords was to be effected, to look back upon the events which had preceded the reform of the House of Commons. It would thus be seen that everything de pended on the people themselves, and that even they could not rationally expect to obtain the end sought, with out very considerable exertion. As the subject was one of vast importance, he would occupy their time for a little in tracing out the. history of the Reform struggle. Ist March, 1831, Lord John Russell introduced the Reform Bill, and on the 23d of April following, Parlia ment was dissolved ; in the end of June the Bill was a second time brought into the Commons, and after much discussion, passed that House, by a majority of 349 to 236. lt went to the Lords, and was there thrown out on the 7th October by 196 to 158. On 20th of the same month Parliament was prorogued ; and on the 29th and 30th, serious riots took place at Bristol. Parlia ment again met in December, and the Bill was passed a second time in the House of Commons by 325 to 239. On the third of April, 1832, it was read a second time in IV O li i n l is t t h r e y Ifo6uthndaitmo, the Lords ; but, in consequence of the continued influence of the Tories at Court, Earl Greys Ministry Loyal p shoulders rero,a o y_ f ne cessary to resign on the 9th of Earl Grey was -carried back to office o ti n le th li e the people, with full power to Live, in order to carry the measure., and on t e 4th June it Ni n g could do with the Lords, and passed the Upper House by a majority of 106 to 22 It was thus seen what the it was for the people to press forward to the foot of the throne with petitions and memorials prayi ng that his Ma jesty would exer t his authorit y. This Iv. as the constitu tional means by whi to effecttheobjeet they bad in view; and he for one, was opposed o others, so long as we had H such means w ithin our power. e would not leave the Reform of the Lords to Lord Lyndhurst, for that Tory leader would not be unlikely to propose such a plan as to en sure its rejection, in the same manner us he doubtless had the total rejecti on of the Newspaper Duty Reduc tion Bill in view, when be proposed to abolish the tax al togeth (licar, and great cheering.) M r . W a llace then read a li st of the bills which had b een sen t to the Lords d ur i ng the past session, and which their Lordships had either thrown out entirely, or damaged so as to render them useless for every good purpose. He (Mr. IVallace) had been quite disgusted at the conduct 0 f the Lords ; it had in fact led him to exclaim in the language of the Church of England —from boreditary legislation " good Lord deliver us." When the Irish Municipal Bill had been sent down to the Commons, so altered as to conveY an insult rather than a boon to the people of Ireland, it was at once kicked out, and many of the members present would have been well pleased to have trampled - it, literally under their feet. In fact it was evident that every mea sure calculated to benefit Ireland would be rejected b 3, their Lordships, unless some change were made in the composi tion of their House. The insulting taunt of Lord Lynd hurst spoke volumes, not only to Irishmen, b ut a l so to Scotsmen. Sh ou ld the Tory V Lords be suffered to pro ceed much longer in their present course, those whom he now addressed might in their turn be denominated " aliens." —(Cheers.) The bills which he had enumerated were certain to be re-introduced next session, and if they were thrown out by the Lords as unceremoniously as they had already been, he really could not foretell what might be the result. Violence ought to be deprecated by every good citizen, and therefore it was the duty of all to exert them selves in a constitutional way, to remove those obstacles to good government which had a tendency to produce an in fringement of the peace.—(Cheers.) There had been some talk of an elective Peerage. The Scots Peers, who sat in the House of Lords, were already subject to election. But the election in their case was what he was sure no one there would advocate—namely, self.election.—( Laugh ter and ch eers .) Th ey were sent, to Parliament by mem b ers of their own body. Were they subjected to a truly popular election, he felt certain, and doubtless they would agree with him, th at not one of the 16 would ever go to Parlia ment.—(Cheers.) He would now come to the business of the House. For himself he would never forget that the first time they had done him the honour of choosing him for their representative, lie had come under pledges to serve them as they wished t o b e served, or to resign his trust into their hands. He had a l so p l e d ged himself on a number of particular points, and now that he was again among th em , lie could boldly say that n o t one of these had he broken. —(Great cheering.) They had all been fulfilled to the very letter.—(Cheers.) There were many abuses in the mode of conducting business in the House of Commons, which called loudly for a remedy, and to these he had di rected much of his attention. In the Committees particu larly, business was wretchedly conduct e d. N o person could expect to obtain justice in a Parliamentary Committee, but at a ruinous expense. The system of canvassing, of run ning about from one member of Committee to another, begging support, was utterly disgraceful, and was felt by many representatives as so degrading, that on a ll occas i ons, when it was practicable, they paired off, and th us es caped from attendance. The mariner in which the divi sions of the House were taken, had been long a grievance, generally felt and acknowledged. This had been so far remedied in respect to the House itself, but nothing had as yet been done to introduce a like reform into the mode of taking divisions in Committees, though it was evident that such reform was as necessary in the one case as in the other. There was a practice which he could not help reprobating, on every occasion on which it came under notice—that which was denominated counting out the House. When questions came which were distaste ful to particulat individuals or parties, and when the atten dence of members was so thin as to afford a prospeet of the plan succeeding, these parties were to be seen standing at the door of the House, endeavouring to prevail on members not to come in, and thus much business important to the nation was often obstructed. Those who resorted to such plans ought, said Mr. Wallace, to be well watched, as they had generally some undue purpose to serve. For his part, he had often seen more good done in a thin House than in a full one. He would advert to another practice which was detrimental to the furtherance of business—that of calling for an adjournment of the House at a specific hour. The duties of a Member of Parliament, who really wished to exercise faithfully the trust reposed is him, were very ar duous. He must be at the House by at least half-past eleven in the morning, and, what with Committees and other business, lie had not an interval of leisure, till the House fairly sat down in the evening to public discus sion. Now, it often occurred that some subject came on for discussion at a late hour ; and was it not absurd to put a stop to that discussion before any conclusion could be come to, and thus to entail upon themselves the necessity of going through all the Parliamentary forms a second time, when, perhaps, a practical conclusion might be attained in less than an hour ? If gentlemen could not stand fatigue, they should not enter upon such a situation as that of a representative of the people in Par liament ; should they find, after they have been returned, that such is the case, they should at once return to their constituents and tell them so, and then bid them good-bye. But there was another evil attending this practice which he ought not to overlook. It enabled the Tories to stop the progress of beneficial legislation, when they would not otherwise be able to do so. Often had lie witnessed some of these gentry watching anxiously the hand of the clock. The more important the business before the House, and the more advantageous for the people that it should be brought to a close, the more intensely did they fix their eyes upon that from which their only hope was derived, and when the hand came within the five minutes to twelve, their anxiety was absolutely painful to themselves, and to all who wit nessed it. Their general aspect on such occasions reminded him of that of a hen turkey in a poultry yard, sitting on an addled egg. Having now gone over much of what might be called public affairs, he would say something on matters which, if not more strongly, yet more peculiarly, related to Greenock and its neighbourhood. And first as to bonded warehouses. A great stride had been made to wards the bestowal of justice ; but the measure which they had obtained was not perfect, and he would advise them to continue the struggle till they wero put on a footing of per fect equality with London. As to their Railway, he had carefully considered the various undertakings of a like na ture which had been laid before Parliament, and he knew none more likely to be productive of good results than that which they had in view. He saw no difficulty in obtaining for it the sanction of Parliament, without any great ex pense. It would connect both the east and west seas. A railway had been prepared to join the Union Canal ; but when speaking on this subject to an individual who favoured the project, be had simply remarked that such a railway would take the passengers twenty-four miles only to plump them into the canal, and this observation had the desired effect. It was quite well understood by him to whom it was addressed. Mr. Wallace then adverted to the Greenock Mechanics' Institution. It had, he said, his highest approbation, as every institution had, the object of which was the universal diffusion of education. A me morial had been presented to him requesting that he should lend his aid in obtaining a grant of public money for the school devoted to the instruction of poor Highlanders. He well knew the destitution to which many Highland fa milies were exposed from the enlargement of farms, and he had forwarded the memorial to the Treasury, marking his opinion of the cause for which it pled, by giving his mite for its advancement. This was two years ago, and since then he (Mr. Wallace) had heard no more on the subject. The plan of the school had, however, been with, and the f oun d a ti on o f the building had been laid. Some fears had, however, arisen, lest the in a public mannermoney not which consistent had been w hobtainedtiie equaln Dissenters, and those who were connected with the Esta blished Church. But he had to observe on this point that it ligh l: t igh b t e s applied of the would the ea s g e e t of snore Greenockof th the money was given to c ommunities—not to churches. Whoever subscribed most of themselves would receive the so happened that the greatest amount from the Treasury. If the Churchmen raised a greater sum among themselves for the purpose of school e 6pedouuobellj'aethli an( c )don a came than to iti b eud e s Dissenters,vo c ib l c i t i e e a fl i tn v ' eerisaa:ni(llelyjiti conducted by members of the establishment ; but let Dissenters put down pound for pound, and they would meet with the same assistance.— (There was some slight mark of disapprobation here, the only thing of the kind that was manifested during the pro ceedings.) The fact was, however, continued Mr. Wal lace, that these grants were of old standing, and were not given directly by Parliament. They were likely, therefore, to be continued till complaints were made to the Treasury, or rather to the House of Commons, the proper purse keepers. Mr. MusitET here rose and asked leave to put a qucs tiou. He said he handed in a letter, at the commence ment of the proceodings, to be given to Mr. Wallace. It related to the Post-Office, and he now wished an answer. Mr. WALLACE, who appeared not to know of any such letter, made a search among some papers and soon found it. He then read it. The question contained in it was, whether letter-carriers in town had a right to demand pay ment for delivering newspapers, or more for letters than the post-mark bore. Mr. Wallace said the question which was here put was perfectly proper. It was to answer such questions that be came there that night, not merely to make a speech. The meeting was, in fact, altogether one of business ; and the topic to which the letter referred was precisely of that business kind to which they ought, at the present, to direct their attention. He would then say in answer, that letter-carriers had no right to demand pay ment for the delivery of newspapers. But if the publishers sent them to the Post-cffice, the Postmaster might refuse to take them at all, as the publishers were bound to deliver them in town themselves. Mr. Mustier said the papers to which ho referred were not published in Greenock, but came from Glasgow, Stir ling, and Dublin. — l4 \ a V s t a 8 Sa this Mr. turd d a o y ne ni l g a h te t l . y ?
